Hello. Thsi is my first post in this forum as well, so go easy on me.

I'm going to a party on Saturday and i know there will be some cannabis there and its good quality stuff.
I've never tried it and i'm curious, so i might try it, but trying to make my mind up. i'm figuring you guys are the most experienced people to ask, so can you lot give me the info on it.
How easy is it to get addicted to? Wot can i expect? Wots asfe, and wots not?

    Well first question we'd need to know is have you ever smoked anything b4 ??? i.e; fags? If you have, then its just like smoking a smooth fag and feeling well monged later.

    If you've never smoked anything b4 i suggest you try a fag 1st so that no 1 else has to inhale over your spit when you start choking on the spliff. I'd say its only as addictive as a fag can be, depends on your will power.

    Ooooh one other very important point: me and all the people i know who smoke tend to get a bad case of munchies after having a session, so i'd advise you to pack up on the choc's and crisps, and your mouth gets quite dry too, so a beer or water is essential! <IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Edited to say; Hello Gandalf!! (cos I forgot, d'oh!!)

    A lot of people who smoke weed for the first time say it has no effect, partly because they don't smoke enough for it to effect them. I'm not encouraging you to go and smoke a shed-full because that'll end up with you chucking your guts up in the toilet all night.

    If you're gonna be drinking a lot I'd steer clear altogether, weed and beer combine badly, tends to spin you out. Drink little and smoke little. The effects of weed can take a little while to kick in, so don't think you're an iron-man 'cos you've just smoked big-time and you're still standing, the effects are probably gonna sneak up on you and hit you hard.

    As for the effects themselves, it varies a lot depending on the circumstances. You may start feeling giggly and light-headed, you may start talking (at length) on random subjects, you might get an increased appreciation of audio and visual stimulations, you might get short-term memory loss, you may find yourself thinking "Did I just say that, or did I just think it??", you may get the munchies and maybe even a few hallucinations. On the down side you may start feeling paranoid or fall asleep on the spot.

    Weed isn't addictive by itself, it's not like heroin, but the effects it has can be addictive. If it makes you feel happy then it's a trigger to start smoking more, but you won't start getting cravings for it and sweating and mugging old ladies for your next "hit" unless there's something seriously wrong with you to start with. As most joints are rolled with tobacco as a mixer you may find that you do get a craving for tobacco though, 'cos that is most definately addictive.

    Weed isn't toxic either, so you can't overdose on it like other drugs, but it tends to combine badly with alcohol for the inexperienced smoker, resulting in a headspinning mess. <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    I'm not gonna recommend that you smoke weed, but on a relative scale of drugs it is fairly harmless. You could also check out the guide on this site. Don't let anyone force-feed you huge amounts though, take it nice and easy and you'll be OK. <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    Hope this helps!!

    thats such bad advice <IMG SRC="mad.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> and natiwati so is having a fag first <IMG SRC="mad.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> stay well away from fags unless your already a smoker, i'm sure i don't need to tell you why <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    i wouldn't try it if your drinking as well, its a sure fire way of been sick <IMG SRC="frown.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    its something to be used seperatly from alcohol until your experienced and know your own limits <IMG SRC="wink.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    the first time often makes people feel a bit yukkie, mainly because of the baccy rush, ask whom ever rolls the joint to go easy on the tobacco as its your first time, they'll understand

    you'll probably feel very relaxed, you'll just kind of sit smiling, unable to do much, its a very kind of can't be arsed feeling !

    its also similar to booze in that the more you do the 'worse' you'll get in a good kind of way <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon"> one joint won't send you into a complete monged state, just as one beer won't get you really pissed

    i wouldn't try to expect anything, just go with the flow, its like been pissed you can't imagine it till you've felt it, so trying creates faulse perceptions

    if you must drink, do it after not before and enjoy ! its very harmless, quite why its illegal is beyond me <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">

    beware you could get the uncontrolable giggles <IMG SRC="biggrin.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
